Top Beauty Products to Keep You Glowing After a Workout
we love the glow. we want the glow.
If you’ve noticed a recurring theme of wellness and beauty in my posts, you’re absolutely right. My passion for beauty runs deep, especially when it comes to sharing the essentials I swear by before and after my workouts. So, let’s dive into the beauty rituals I rely on in the shower post-sweat session and beyond.
Before the shower:
Dry brush: I just talked about the Skinny Confidential Butter Brush in my latest post & this dry brush has been a game-changer for me especially after my workouts. Its thick handle and grip make it easy to target areas where I need some extra lymphatic drainage and go into the shower feeling replenished and de-bloated.
In the shower:
Body soap: First things first, I start by standing under a burst of cold water—just for a few refreshing seconds—before diving into my body wash routine. I alternate between the luxurious Native Coconut and Vanilla body wash and the chic Nécessarie Body Wash.
Body scrub: Once my skin is clean, it’s time for a deep scrub—a must, especially after an intense hot pilates session. The OUAI Body Sugar Scrub is my go-to for its divine scent and luxurious texture. But I also reach for the Vanilla Sugar Body Scrub because, let’s be honest, I’m a sucker for anything vanilla.
Face wash: I've been a loyal Cetaphil girl for as long as I can remember, but I've recently been swayed. While in New York, I discovered Vanicream Gentle Cleanser in a friend’s shower, and I was instantly hooked. The subtle scent and how gentle it felt on my skin had me ordering two bottles on the spot.
Eye wash (weird I KNOW): My optometrist once shared a game-changing tip: scrubbing your eyelids is just as crucial as cleansing your face! Ever since, I've been using this Eyelid Scrub religiously for over two years now, and trust me, there's no turning back.
After the shower:
Body Lotion: Trader Joe’s Coconut Body Butter has been a post-shower staple for as long as I can remember. This whipped body butter glides on effortlessly, leaving a light, airy feel—and the scent? Like a dreamy coconut cloud.
Cuticle oil: If you take just one thing from this post, let it be this: cuticle oil is a game-changer. I apply it every morning and night after my shower, and the results are transformative—faster nail growth, gorgeous nails, and softer hands. Trust me, this is a non-negotiable in your beauty routine!
I hope you enjoyed these workout-lover friendly beauty tips!!
